Part Two: Agnosco te ipsum.


“I am glad that you have finally awoken.”
“Who are you? Where am I?”
“You won’t believe me how many times have I herd these questions. For your second question – you are between. And I am known to you as the Grim Reaper.”
“So, does this mean that I am dead?”
“No, you I cannot accept in my realms.”
“And why is that?”
“It is because you are an endless and for that reason… What is it that I am saying that you find so amusing?”
“Let’s just say that I just had a very disturbing deja-vu.”
“Never mind then. I am very happy that I found you before Them.”
“Why is that?”
“Because even though I am supposed to be neutral I couldn’t just stand there and let injustice be done.”
“Umm… I’m drawing a blank here.”
“Not surprising considering that you have been not living for eons. Now let me refresh your memory… You are a God. One of many. But you also are an outcast. A very long time ago you disagreed whit the others about how balance should be maintained throughout the Whole. They didn’t agree with each other much either but They saw you as the main threat to their vision of how the Whole should be like. Therefore you ware attacked by the others and driven into hiding. The universe that you consider your home is something that you yourself created to hide in for the time that is necessary to regain your strength.”
“This is too much. It all has to be some sort of a sick joke.”
“There is no need for me to be lying. I just want to warn you that that “miracle” you created – changing the entire world, attracted their attention and now they’re tracking you down. They will find you.”
“What can I do to oppose them? How can I…”
“I have told you all that you need to know. The rest is up to you.”
“But!”…


* * *

“There seems to be no choice but to hide away. I do not yet have enough power to open the gate and let the soul devourer out. For that reason I shall create a new universe somewhere distant where I can conceal myself until my powers have fully grown. I will need your help because creation of a whole universe will take too much of my already overused power. For eons I shall be nothing more than a soul flying pointlessly through space but in time I will be reborn in a mortal shell. But I will not have any memories of the times past and I will need you to look after me and help me big sister.”

“SCREW thre bet! You are going to explain yourself for leaving me alone in that restaurant and then appear home after four hours!”
“Four hours? Bet?”
“Yes, bet! You told me that I had to be your maid and to be on my best behavior for one month because you are some monster when it comes to chuging scotch.”
“Sorry, but I have my doubts on what was happening for the past several hours myself. And as for the lost bet, I think I can cancel your duties as a maid if you’ll forgive my rudness.”
“Well, if that is the deal then apology accepted.”
“OK. About those four hours… I need to try out a theory.” After saying that I made a couple of seals with my hands and then shouted “KAGE BUSHIN NO JITSU!!!” and suddenly about thirty replicas of me appeared around me.
“EEP!!! How did you do that?”
“Your not going to believe me if I told you.”
“How could I not believe the man I love?
I felt my heart skip a beat after hearing those words. “Aisha loves me! I truly have created my paradise! I see Grim Reaper was telling the truth, but doesn’t that mean that my life is in danger?”…
“I’m sorry, but I won’t answer your questions today, too much has happened and I need some time to fully understand it myself.”
“Well… OK. But I want an explanation first thing after you wake up or you won’t get any food in this house for a week!”

After a drink of the red liquid that I now understood is blood, I retired to my room to think it all over. But I fell asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow.

“You are going to need to help me regain all my knowledge big sister.”
“I will wait for you no matter how long it takes and once you are reborn I will stay by your side and when the time comes guide you.”
“Lore???”

* * *

I woke up as worried as I have ever been, cold sweat running down my back. Lore is my sister and also a god… I needed to find her quick!

“Aisha, I am going to need your help! I need to find someone, someone really important!”
“Well that is a nice way of saying good-morning!”
“I need to find a person whose name is Lore.” “OOH! How handy would a picture of her be right now!” and as I thought it a picture of Lore appeared in my hand.
“Here is a picture of her.”
“OK. Lemmesee… Well that was easy! She is a member of Hellsing… Here is her current location, phone number, and so on. Now, will you explain something to me?”
“Not yet. I need to talk to her first!”
“OK, let’s go then!”

We arrived at a large building complex on the east side of town.
“This is where she lives?”
“YUP!”
“Well then, let’s go in.”

“Ryu! What a pleasant surprise!”
“Same here. Could we talk a little?”
“Sure! Come right in!”
“So this is where you live?”
“Yes. And who is this kitty?”
“NYANYII??? I am Aisha! And I am no kitty! I am a proud Ctarl-ctarl!”
“Whatever. Anyway Ryu, I see you have understood what is going on and came to seek my help. Right?”
“Yes… big sister.”
“So you do remember something! How nice… Anyway, you should come with me. And maybe you should leave the kitten behind.”
Fearing for my sister’s safety, and mine, I quickly disagreed and politely asked Aisha to accompany us.

We walked through a door and found ourselves in a dark room. I don’t know how but I knew that we were not on Earth any more. It seemed that I could become one with the air here. I noticed that Aisha was very tense, I could tell by her revealed fangs and swinging tail. Lore came in last and closed the door.
“Welcome to my domain! From here anyone can travel virtually anywhere in place and time for I am the goddess of time! I do so hope that you like how everything is made in here.”
“This is not right! My sister wasn’t in any way associated with time!”
“Oh I see that your memory has returned to a great level. Most impressive my little friend.”
“Who are you and what have you done with Lore?”
“You don’t remember me? Once you said that I should have a name and called me Xaa. Maybe this will refresh your memory a little…”
And with those words she began to change. After several moments she didn’t look like a human any more – she was more like a serpent than anything else. Her eyes were venom green, her hair black as the darkest night, yet her face, thin though it might be, was beautiful. Her beauty enchanting and evil would consume me had Aisha not been here. She jumped at the “goddess” and wrestled her down, Xaa in turn just threw her off and against the wall and immediately turned all of her attention to me completely ignoring Aisha who seemingly crumpled by the wall. A very big mistake might I add; Aisha was already rising, her eyes glowed red, her every muscle was strained. I needed to draw Xaa’s attention so she wouldn’t notice Aisha’s transformation. I concentrated and a phantom blade formed itself around my arm. Xaa snickered softly “I see you indeed remember something. But how can you single-handedly stand against me??” After saying this, she flung herself at me at tremendous speed. I was paralyzed with fear, although my body thought otherwise. I felt myself pivot on my right leg, narrowly avoiding her claw-like fingers and perform a superb slash with my newly formed blade. The slash went wide, because she was not there anymore. I somehow felt her behind my back and without hesitation leapt back and landed neatly about three feet away, but something was wrong. The ground seemed like ice and I felt myself sliding further. While I was contemplating my new environment, my blade acted deftly on its own, impaling itself into the ground and bringing me to a halt.
Xaa seemed to be taken aback, although no doubt entered her voice as she coolly commented on my acrobatic feats “’Tis but a trifle of my power, but already you are driven into defense.” Without answering, I composed myself and cast a quick glance towards Aisha. Unfortunately, she still needed time. This time I would need to attack, lest Xaa noticed her yet unrevealed foe. I tugged my blade a bit and felt that it cut smoothly trough the floor’s matter. I couldn’t hope to strike her down, so my only choice was to use her ignorance of my powers and Aisha. I charged towards Xaa, my blade still sheeted in the ground, cutting trough the floor behind me, peculiarly making no sound. About two feet away from Xaa I leapt desperately into the air, forming seals with my hands. After gaining about ten feet of altitude, they were complete and I began my descent, accompanied by my chants. I saw Xaa eyes widen in shock, as she witnessed thirty blades that seemed to be emitting a dark glow clashing down on her. Xaa swiftly phased away evading my desperate attempt to strike her down. Yet another surprise awaited our hostess. Aisha, having completed her transformation, was ready for a warm welcome. She lashed out at Xaa’s back, bringing her down to her knees. Xaa was visibly shaken and with her hand planted firmly on the ground for support she declared in a trembling voice “This is but a trifle of the forces opposing you! You shall be struck down in due time!” I drew upon memories from the times long gone, vast, yet distant, and found the appropriate answer, “You are indeed getting old. You’re beginning to repeat yourself.”
“This is not over! Not by far!”
“I see your point… Why should I care?”
Casting one last angry glance at me and Aisha she disappeared.

* * *

“What took you so long, Aisha?” I asked her after she transformed into her normal self.
“I was smashed against a wall, this place doesn’t seem to have a moon and most importantly, I WAS HUNGRY!”
“Whatever. For now we should concentrate on getting out of here.”
We went back to the door we came through and found that it was open.
Upon leaving the house Aisha contacted someone via her bracelet and a car was already waiting for us when we reached the nearby street. We got in and Aisha told the driver to take us home.

When we finally arrived home Aisha had had enough.
“So will you finally tell me what the hell is going on?”
“I guess it would be only appropriate.” And so I told Aisha the entire story.
“…and so it seems that they have finally found me.”
“So that means that my love for you is also your creation? That I am nothing more than a dream that has been brought to life?”
“It is true that it is I who created this world… and you… But you must understand that it was my deepest dreams that formed this new world and my true love that created you. Ever since I first saw you I knew that I love you. It was the greatest gift of all and yet… the most dreadful curse that could have been bestowed upon me. For five long years I felt that I was trapped in a void. For five years I could not bring myself to feel anything about any women. I did have some friends but they all seemed like nothing to me... rather phantoms, not real people. There was not a single day in those years that I didn’t shed tears of grief from not being able to be near you, tears that seemed to be coming from my heart and felt like acid climbing up and burning my soul from within. It all stopped a couple months ago when I suddenly collapsed and woke up in a hospital. They said that my heart just stopped and that it was a miracle that I was still alive. After that I couldn’t remember the day I passed out and I couldn’t remember you until I finally saw you here. But now I remember why I almost died – I was thinking about you and grief washed me away like a tidal wave. I couldn’t stand it anymore, my heart seemed to be drowning in tears and blood and then… But now you are here and I can be close to you. And I will do anything I can to prove to you that I am worthy of your love… if I indeed am…”
Tears filled Aisha’s eyes while she listened to me and after I finished she spoke to me in a soft voice “I truly love you and now I don’t care that it was you who made me and made my love to you. I feel like I could reach up to the stars and shape them as I wish when I am with you, and if it is your love that made me like this then it has to be true, your feelings – sincere.”
“I hope that we can be together for all eternity, even after cosmoses collide and vanish. Forever together, forever loving. And I promise that I will get rid of this Damocles sword hanging over us and protect you even if it costs me my life…”
My last words failed to escape my mouth because Aisha’s lips covered mine. We embraced each other, her warmth seemed to burn me, our souls were entwined, we were as one. And then I understood; the only life worth living is a life with her…


* * *

I woke up the next day and found that we were still embraced as if in sleep we feared that we might loose each other had we let go. Fearing that I might wake her I silently took her hand of me and ascended to the roof. I sat there thinking about how everything turned out and what should be done next. Firstly I needed to make sure that Aisha will be safe from attacks of other gods. I guess I need to train with my divine powers for that. While pondering on the matter my eyes turned to the gate and I saw someone standing there. I jumped of the roof and went to the gate to see who was the man standing there.
“Would you care to explain why are you standing outside there?”
“I am here for my nuclear warhead disabling training, sir!”
“Wait a moment, wasn’t it supposed to be yesterday?”
“Yes, but you were not here yesterday, so I waited here, sir!”
“You were waiting here all night?”
“Yes. Sir, could we commence the training today?”
“Right, OK. Come in”

We went down to the basement and by the time we reached the far wall I had “remembered” everything I needed to know about nuke disarming.
“You look slightly gloomy.” I commented the soldier.
“Easy for you to speak, you will be watching me from behind a shielding system that can fully repel any blast and radiation while I am going to be in there, working on very delicate wiring, wearing protective gear that limits movement.”
Suddenly an idea struck me.
“Aisha, are you awake?” I asked through the intercom.
“Yes. Anything happening?”
“Yes. Remember the rookie that was supposed to have training yesterday? Well he is here right now and is ready to go through the training and I would like you to be down here and observe and comment him… That is if you know about nukes.”
“I am fully competent about nuclear weaponry and will gladly help. But why can’t you do it? I thought your knowledge was sufficient.”
“I have an idea which I need to work on ASAP.”
“OK, but this time I want to go to an Italian restaurant and I don’t want you disappearing in the middle of the dinner, got that?”
“Anything for you. Anyway, I will go somewhere else and work on my new idea. Will you be down soon?”
“In a moment.”
I told my “student” that another supervisor will come shortly and departed to the farthest side of the basement.

I decided that shielding someone is quite obviously a very good idea of defending that certain person. For that I needed to “remember” how to do something like that. For that reason I took a peace of wood and a concrete block. In my mind I formed a shield around the wooden plank and then mentally attacked it. Not a thing happened so I tried to “attack” the concrete block and to my surprise, though I was expecting something, it exploded. “Good,” I thought. Next I tried to slash the wood with the blade that I used when fighting Xaa and after I slashed at the wood I was thrown against the wall. Next I tried burning, shooting, blowing it up, all to the same result – not even a scratch appeared on it. “Now we’re getting somewhere!” I thought and gave myself a pat on the back. Next I tried to form a shield around myself to see how it affects living matter. I didn’t feel much different with the “shield” on so I tried to shoot myself in the foot to see if it was working. Foolish though it might be it seemed like the correct thing to do under the circumstances. Again – nothing. I felt confidence rise in me and wanted to try something bigger on myself when suddenly the alarms went of. I dashed to where Aisha was and judging by the look on her face my worst expectations were true – the soldier had done something terribly wrong. I sprinted to the window to see what was going on and saw the poor guy beating on the exit door which wouldn’t open. Without thinking I formed a shield around him and tried to disarm the weapon with my mind but it was too late – the bomb went off and for the next few moments nothing could be seen in that room, and no wonder – there was, basically, a nuclear explosion in a can. When the room cleared out a bit I saw the solder standing there, his mouth open and eyes wide in disbelief – he was alive! I quickly accessed the computer controls and overrode its security system and opened the door to the testing room. The poor guy came out completely dazed and the anti-radiation treatment he got upon leaving the test room didn’t help his situation much either.
“Just go take a shower and sleep a bit. The test involved a dummy nuke so you are going to be fine.”
“OK… whatever… sleep… right…”

“Was it really a dummy nuke?” I asked Aisha when we were alone.
“Not really, but I didn’t want him knowing of our powers… It was you who saved him, right?”
“Yes, and I am going to put the same kind of protection on you so as nothing bad could happen.”
“Do you really consider me so weak that I need special protection???”
“No, but I do consider the god’s opposing me to be that strong that something like this would not be unnecessary.”
“Well, that’s that… So what are we going to do now?”
“I am not quite sure myself… I guess I could take you to that Italian restaurant like I promised.”
